Learning to Reject Rejection
What happens after the moment you wish you could erase? This week, Sarah is joined by writer and publicist Alice Draper, founder of Hustling Writers and host of the podcast 'My Rejection Story'.

Additionally, they discuss the science behind why rejection can feel so brutal, including how our brains process it similarly to physical pain.
